Hearing Yang Dong's words, Li Du asked curiously, "When did you come to America? What are you doing here? "
Yang Dong said, "Studying abroad. When I was in school, my family tried their best to get me American citizenship. In the future, I would have a bright future. In the end, I lost my job after graduation. I was too ashamed to go back, so I could only stay here."
As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.
Li Du said, "What's there to be ashamed about? Did you get your diploma? If you did, go back and look for a job. After all, you're a returnee. "
Yang Dong smiled bitterly. "D * mn, that's the shame. I didn't get it. I didn't even get my diploma or diploma!"
Li Du was speechless.
He looked at Yang Dong with pity, raised his glass and said, "Come, let's have a toast to fate."
If it weren't for the little bug, Li Du might not have been as good as Yang Dong now.
Outsiders might not understand, but Li Du understood Yang Dong. Some people just cared about their reputation. If they could not return to their hometown in glory, they might as well wander.
After eating the skewers, Yang Dong waved to the people beside him and said, "Lao He, give me the jellyfish salad. Girl, fry the whole pot with cheese skewers."
Yang Dong introduced them to Li Du. "Lao He's full name is He Yunlong. He's from Taiwan. I don't know the girl's name. She's a Vietnamese girl. I ordered their specialty. It's delicious. Try it, it's my treat."
Li Du smiled. "It's my treat. You should be under a lot of financial pressure."
Yang Dong touched his nose and said, "Hey, what pressure? Money is bullsh * t. As long as I can live, I don't care how much money it is. Ten dollars or a hundred thousand dollars is the same to me. Living happily is the most important thing. "
Li Du gave him a thumbs up. "You're open-minded."
Yang Dong smiled. "I'm a person who cares about my reputation. Actually, I'm living quite well. I'm happy every day. Besides, it's not that bad here. Look at Lao He, there's a girl in his family who's sick. He came to America to treat her. "
He then pointed at the Vietnamese girl. "She was tricked into coming to America. If not for her cleverness and the fact that she met a few righteous police officers, who knows what would have happened to her."
"And that brother, don't be fooled by the fact that he's just a peddler selling African sweets and African dishes now. He used to be very powerful. He was a civil servant of the US government's Africa Research Group!"
Following the direction of his finger, Li Du saw a busy figure.
This person's attire was very interesting. He was busy behind the stall, but he didn't wear an apron. Instead, he was still wearing a suit and tie. His hair was also meticulous, which didn't match the style of the underground food city at all.
Li Du asked curiously, "He's a civil servant? What's so great about American civil servants? "
Yang Dong said, "This brother is amazing. He can be considered a double-faced talent in both the Department of Defense and the Department of Foreign Affairs. He has been studying Africa. When I first came to America, he took care of me. We are from the same hometown. At that time, he was very impressive. However, he was framed by a villain and is now finished."
With that, he shook his head helplessly.
Coincidentally, the man in the suit turned around and looked at them. When he saw Yang Dong pointing at him, he smiled and shouted, "Hey, you're treating us again? Do you want some snacks? "
Yang Dong waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, come over here. You're free now, right? Bring some food over and let's chat. "
The man in the suit quickly tidied up the stall and walked over with a plate.
Before he came over, Yang Dong introduced, "This brother is from the same family as you. His English name is Terry Lee, and his Chinese name is Li Qi. Hehe, he's a very nice person. You don't mind chatting with him, right?"
Li Du came to the food city for a stroll. He had nothing to do, so he didn't mind getting to know a few strangers.
Li Qi brought some sweets. Yang Dong introduced them to Li Du and then asked, "Did you make these African goods too?"
"No," Li Qi smiled and shook his head. "African food is not as popular as our Chinese food. I realized that there aren't many snacks and sweets here, so I wanted to make something special for myself."
Yang Dong said, "Then why don't you change your job? I think you should stick to your African characteristics. After all, you know a lot about African customs."
Li Qi shook his head again and said, "What's the use of knowing a lot? I'm an Asian. People won't believe that my African food is authentic. You know, doing business here relies on a gimmick. If I don't have a gimmick, the customers won't buy it. "
Li Du asked curiously, "You used to be an expert on African issues? Do you know Mozambique? "
Li Qi smiled and said, "What kind of expert am I? Have you been duped by this Dongzi bro? My previous job was related to Africa, but I'm not an expert. "
Yang Dong said, "Hey, Brother Li, you're good at everything, but you're too humble. Haven't you suffered enough from being humble? Humans should draw their swords when it's time. Otherwise, your life will be the same as your work. Sooner or later, you'll be bullied. These Americans like to bully the weak and fear the strong! "
His words seemed to provoke Li Qi. Li Qi's smile suddenly became a little forced.
After that, Li Qi thought for a while and asked Li Du, "Then I'll embarrass myself. Mr. Li, what do you want to know about Mozambique?"
Li Du said, "Oh, nothing much. I have a friend in Mozambique. He said that there have been some changes in the military and political scene there recently. There's a new general called Remonin?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's right, there is indeed such a person. However, I don't know much about this General Remonin. When he appeared in Mozambique's military world, I happened to have resigned. As far as I know, he used to be a tribal chief. He made his fortune by relying on tribal military power and formed a tribal armed force called the Democratic Army.
"There are many tribal armed forces like this in Mozambique. They're all just jokes. However, General Remonin seems to have a diamond mine in his hands. He also received the support of a mysterious rich man. In a short period of time, he had a large sum of money.
"He was able to stand out from countless tribal armed forces and enter the top ranks of the military world. This has something to do with what he did two years ago. That was, he wiped out a warlord at the border between Cecil and Mozambique. That was his springboard to enter the military world.
"The warlord that he wiped out was a threat to both Cecil and Mozambique. Hence, this action won him the admiration of both governments.
"This person is quite smart. He seized the opportunity to use a lot of money to open up a path and enter the ranks of the unorthodox tribal armed forces. I'm not too sure what happened after that. Based on my guess, this general must have followed the old path and continued to use money to bribe the top military officials of their country to obtain a higher status and more power for himself. "
At this point, Li Qi began to shake his head.
Li Qi was completely right. His understanding of Remonin surprised Li Du. One had to know that Remonin was just a small character in the military world of a small country in Africa. Now, apart from Mozambique, there were probably not many people in the world who knew about him.
